The , school’s total student budget was de creased by approximately the same margain, from $38,000 to $36,000. Only one campus group, the Student’s Association, will have a larger budget than last year. New committees for the associa tion account for most of the bud get increase. were reported in the incidents, and university police have re portedly uncovered no clues. ★ ★ ★ Texas University kicked off its annual Campus Chest drive this week with kissing booths, organ- grinders, piggy banks and other attractions. Sororities and fraternities are vying for various prizes in the drive. Other activities will be the selection of a Miss Campus Chest and the Ugliest Man on Campus. '■» - s “ . . . We oughta protest!

A spokesman for the Fort Worth defense plant first voiced the opinion that technical em phasis will increase at TCU. He also said the awarding of the contract will make Texas the center of the U.S. aerospace in dustry. TCU’s director of public rela tions has also predicted a large enrollment increase at the uni versity as a result of the new contract. ★ ★ ★ A student opinion poll is un derway at TCU today to deter mine student reaction to the Na tional Student Association, a na tion-wide organization of college and university student govern ment groups. The poll will not be binding, but will serve as a guide for the school’s Student Congress, which is expected to make a decision on TCU membership in the or ganization. Students are being asked first if they feel prepared to give an opinion on the issue, and sec ondly if they favor or oppose membership strongly or moder ately. Editor, The Battalion: The recent series of letters ap pearing in The Battalion has pointed out a very interesting consideration. That is the fact that there are students on our campus interested enough to write a letter about some phase of campus life that they feel strongly enough about and wish to see some action taken on. Al though the Cadet Corps-civilian relation may have been one not entirely concerning a major cam pus problem but instead a differ ence between a very small ma jority, it still is an expression of student concern. to attend our bi-weekly meetings. The times and dates are found on your college calendar. This Thursday’s meeting deals with the often-talked-about dining halls and the head man, Mr. Pen- niston, will appear before the Senate to answer and discuss questions concerning this facil ity. Once again I say support your Student Senate, ypur col lege and the Aggie way of life. Sheldon J. Best Student Body President ★ ★ ★ Sometimes more important considerations are ignored through lack of effective com munication. The freshman elec tions will give our youngest class a chance to display their interest in campus affairs and the future of their first year at Texas A&M. Often the voting machine be comes a place for a man to vote for one or two personal friends and take calculated guesses on other good-sounding names. To the freshman I say, inform your selves before you vote, for it is your representation and voice that is being selected. Editor, The Battalion: If the quality of the graphics displayed by the sign in the foun tain room, advertising the Aggie Talent Show, is any indication of the quality of talent to be auditioned; then “FORGET IT.” John J. Puckett, ’62 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: There have been many letters Ilardi Resigns UT Regent Post Texas University’s chairman of the Board of Regents, Judge Thornton Hardie of El Paso, has resigned his position and will be replaced by Austinite W. W. Heath, an attorney and business man. A six-year veteran of the board, Hardie will retain his board position until his term ex pires in January. Replacements for him and two other retiring members will be named at that time. Hardie had served as chairman of the board for two years. Heath was formerly vice chair man of the board and will be re placed in that position by A. G. McNeese of Houston. ★ ★ ★ Home-made bombs exploded on two consecutive mornings last week in front of a men’s dormi tory at the University of Texas. Both charges were attached to the door of the building’s assist ant manager. The first blast blew a hole about two by three inches in size in the inch-thick wood door. The second charge was apparently stuffed into the hole made by the initial explo sion. Then on a larger scale, to the student body; inform yourselves also, take an active interest in your college and its affairs. You were recently told of a “Blue print For Progress” that will guide A&M for the next 14 years. If you are satisfied with it, support It to the fullest; but if you are not, let' your Student Senate know of your feelings and maybe as the great Aggie broth erhood we are, some answer can be found. I invite any and all students 2 Churches Unite For Study Program Methodist and Presbyterian students will meet at the Pres byterian Student Center Wed nesday night to discuss “The Church in Modern Society,” ac cording to A. L. Fowler, Pres byterian chaplain. Students will talk about their individual ideas and con cepts concerning the church in an open discussion, Fowler add ed. The meeting will start at 7:15 p.m. The Liberty Bell was cast at Thomas Lester’s foundry at White- chaped, London. It arrived in Phil adelphia safely but cracked when written on the argument of the Corps vs. civilians, but none of them has brought the problem before us as well as Cadet Slouch by Jim Earle which appeared in last Friday’s Battalion. In the cartoon there are only two stu dents with signs either pi-o or con to the problem at hand. The other signs range from “Down With Everything” to “I Like Ike.” In my two and one-half semes ters on this campus, I have seen almost every controversial issue used as an excuse for students to yell “Down With Everything” or “I Like Ike.” A few of these issues, in case I am questioned, are coeducation, name change, compulsory Corps, spirit and even the removal of the shrubs from in front of the library. Nothing is going to be gained from the exchange of views through The Battalion or any other means of communication as long as there is a large num ber of students who prefer to sit back and yell “I Like Ike.” This institution is never going to be a top school or respected university until the students or at least a majority of the stu dents start thinking for them selves and obtain the guts to choose sides. The students of this school would be a much stronger body, have much more spirit, but much to the Aggie idea of Aggie brotherhood, and gain many more of their objectives with two strongly opposing sides than they will with the now-existing sides and the mass majority of the students acting as a gutless blob between the opposing views yell ing. “Down With Everything.” Melvyn E. Brandt, ’65 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: I have read many arguments covering both sides of the “Corps vs. Civilian” problem in Sound Off in the past two or three weeks. Both sides are sure they are right and are not going to give in. So I would like to beg someone who is not a confirmed coward like myself to please burn the MSC, blow up the Academic Building, sell Kyle Field or some other act on the order of the above so that these nuts will go back to studying instead of try ing td out-badmouth each other, or at least they can write letters to Sound Off that will do some thing other than demonstrate ig norance and narrow-mindedness. I thank you for your kind indul gence. Richard R.
